Brazil: Oversupply of mangoes on the national market
HF Brasil continues: “The region, Jaíba/Janaúba (MG), also experienced an increase in supply of mango in September. However, harvest in this region is expected to slow down soon this month and end the harvest early November. In Livramonte de Nossa Senhora (Bahía), there was less offer from the Palmer and Tommy variety last month. The harvest of the Bahía region is supposed to continue for a while until December.”
Because of the high availability of mangoes in the domestic market, the prices decreased for all varieties in all regions. However, the scenario can be improved if more exports go to the United States and Europe. If US Demand for the Tommy variety is significant, increased shipments will reduce the volumes on the national market.
